Warm Welcome Spaces

Providing a warm welcome this winter

Rotary GB&I is delighted be the Volunteer Partner for Warm Welcome Spaces, having been involved since the launch in 2023.

Warm Welcome Spaces exists to turn poverty and isolation into warmth and connection through the power of local spaces made by and for the community.

Thousands of Warm Welcome Spaces exist across the country, with many opening their doors with extended services during the winter months from October to March. Spaces offer everyone a friendly place to keep warm, connect and make new friends.

In the 2024/25 winter Warm Welcome, there were over 2.6 million visits to the 5,000+ Warm Welcome Spaces across the country.

Rotary’s dedicated members regularly volunteer their time and talents to their local communities so they can tackle today’s needs and strengthen society for tomorrow’s challenges. This campaign aligns with the Rotary GB&I unifying theme of ‘Health and Wellbeing’ and the many service projects Rotary clubs are already doing in this area.

Forres Rotary helping vulnerable people around the world tackle Coronavirus

Volunteers held a socially-distanced collection in the Tesco car park in Forres between 10am-4pm on Saturday (August 22) to raise cash and awareness for the Shelterbox appeal which aims to provide practical help for vulnerable individuals.

The Rotary Club of Forres disburses charitable funds each year. The form below enables clubs, charities and community groups to apply for funding.

The object of RYLA is to develop leadership qualities and team working: to give a sense of pride in achievement; to stimulate mind and body, and in doing so to emphasise the importance of sportsmanship, fitness, character and personal relationships.

Rotary in Forres brings together people like you who want to use their expertise and interests for good. People whose sense of responsibility inspires them to give back to their communities"¦ and have fun doing it.
